But the cut will take effect in red states. The TRO applies only to the states that brought the suit.

I think the billionaires forgot that even billionaires need cancer research.

Of note, a dollar goes farther in most red states than $1.30 in most blue states.

serienya.bsky.social•12 days ago

Many research labs are in blue states.

thestreettalk.bsky.social•12 days ago

So it went pretty much everywhere.

a better graphic would also include the number of research institutions in each state, perhaps indicated by the size of the state's dot.

The tech oligarchy has AI, who needs human researchers.

But what if you did $1 per the state’s GDP?

whatssewspecial.bsky.social•12 days ago

👆this. would be a very different graph I bet

toddadam.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm guessing that blue states have more research institutions, since red states have outlawed science.

punchedmonet.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ahhh this makes sense, I was confused for a sec

Now do NIH funding per college graduate, and per PhD.

mjz1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

States that have failed to support education and research institutions lack the capacity for research. Consider me shocked.

*Republicans* actually know this.

Are innovations and discoveries made in each state only utilized by that state? This is misleading and invites your readers to draw erroneous conclusions.

lebeaujardin.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s a dumb graphic for about a dozen reasons.

mgonzo.bsky.social•12 days ago

Certainly wouldn’t argue with that

sweetviolet79.bsky.social•12 days ago

this still seems ridiculous. if, for example, cancer research is conducted in a blue state, the red states will still benefit.

darbylyons.bsky.social•12 days ago

An excellent point.

tattooed-thornback.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also maybe science thrives and is supported more in a blue state so more scientists move there.

hiddenrocks.bsky.social•12 days ago

Red state research univeristies are taking a big funding hit. Do their represntatives and senators give a damn? When will the watermelons hit the fan?

That whole education thing and promoting libraries, science, reading and facts reaps benefits when you are training scientists and researchers!
